few days ago and brought to this city,, the
Marysville ARpeGi of yesterday had the fol
lowing d" w. +. Peacock, OF this city, was
seen by an .AppeGl reporter and said that
from the incomplete description, the birds
were probably Wilson's phalarope, a
species of the sandplper. The variety is
rare. Mr.. Peacock is well informed in
ornithology. His collection of stuffed

speckled. while the breasts of these birds
were pure white.
